[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] qemu-iotests: Fix supported_oses check

[Fam Zheng]

There is a bug in the recently added sys.platform test, and we no longer
run python tests, because "linux2" is the value to compare here. So do a
prefix match. According to python doc [1], the way to use sys.platform
is "unless you want to test for a specific system version, it is
therefore recommended to use the following idiom":

if sys.platform.startswith('freebsd'):
    # FreeBSD-specific code here...
elif sys.platform.startswith('linux'):
    # Linux-specific code here...

v2: Don't use any().
    Explain why prefix match is fine.
    (Thanks, Stefan)
